We went on a three week trip around Sri Lanka with our excellent driver - Hasantha. As a family with two small children it was really important to us that we had a driver/guide who could not only be flexible but was friendly and liked children! Hasantha didn't disappoint. From the very beginning, Hasantha was professional, reliable, and calm. We always felt very safe and he took a lot of care to ensure that our plans worked for the small children - stopping whenever and wherever we needed too. We felt very lucky that he was willing to share his knowledge and passion for Sri Lanka's culture, history, and nature with us. He showed us some amazing sights that friends travelling with a different operator/guide didn't get to see. We also had a lot of fun! and was very sad to leave him at the end of our trip. If you're travelling to Sri Lanka and need a driver I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Hasantha.
Excellent service. Our driver Harsha was amazing. He gave good guidance as to what to see and do, chose good spots for lunch and toilet breaks, and was good company. Pick up and drop off were super smooth and the communication excellent.
We were incredibly fortunate to explore Sri Lanka with such an outstanding guide. From the very beginning, was Samantha reliable, warm, and truly dedicated to making our trip special. He shared his deep knowledge of the country's culture, history, and nature in a way that was both engaging and easy to understand, turning every stop into a memorable experience. What impressed us most was his flexibility. He adapted the itinerary to our wishes, made spontaneous stops, and showed us hidden places we would have never discovered on our own. Everything was perfectly organized - safe drives, well-planned days, and excellent recommendations for food and activities. His friendly personality, sense of humor, and genuine passion for Sri Lanka made us feel comfortable and well taken care of at all times. An absolutely exceptional guide - we would travel with him again without hesitation.
We visited Sri Lanka for 5 days during our honeymoon and Ceylon Escapes was recommended by a friend. We were allocated a fantastic driver called Wijaya. He stayed with us for the entire trip and helped with the airport pick up/ drop off at Colombo. Wijaya helped us plan our itinerary once we arrived and had so many great suggestions. He was really flexible with timings and we managed to include some rest breaks in between hikes, visiting monuments and factory visits/ experiences. His English is very good and above all he is a very safe driver. We couldn’t recommend him enough! Thank you Wijaya!
We have traveled 2 weeks through Sri Lanka using Ceylon Escapes and can definitely recommend this! Prior to the trip we presented our initial plan and received several suggestions from Ceylon Escapes to improve the route a bit. Communication was fast and clear. The trip itself we did together with our driver Samantha. He really went to great lengths to make our holiday as smooth as possible and take all our worries off our hands. Every day he came up with enough suggestions based on our itinerary and any other sights we hadn't thought of ourselves. As a guide he has told us so much about the culture, nature and history. This has allowed us to get so much more out of our holiday in advance.
We recently got back from our Sri Lanka family tour— Kandy, Ella, Yala, Galle, Bentota, and Colombo — and honestly, the trip wouldn't have been half of what it was without our guide Wijaya. He's the kind of guide who actually knows the country and can tune the trip to the pace of the group. Whether we were at the Temple of the Tooth, tracking leopards through Yala, or getting lost (happily) inside Galle Fort, Wijaya had a story, a context, or a local angle that made each place click. And the secret waterfall he took us to in Ella? That alone was worth the trip. What stood out most, though, was how easy he made everything feel. He was calm when logistics got tricky, patient when we had a hundred questions, and somehow always knew what we needed before we asked. It never felt like a tour — it felt like travelling with a friend who just happened to know everything about Sri Lanka. If you're planning a trip there, do yourself a favour and ask for Wijaya specifically. Five stars, without a second thought.
We recently completed an 8-day family trip across Sri Lanka organized by *Ceylon Escapes* and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The planning process was smooth and seamless, with prompt communication, flexible payment options, competitive pricing, and professional service throughout. Everything was well organized, allowing us to enjoy the trip without worrying about logistics. A special mention to our guide and driver, *Wijaya*, who was outstanding. He was always punctual, cheerful, and positive, making every day enjoyable. Traveling with children can be challenging, but he was incredibly patient and accommodating with the kids, which we greatly appreciated. His local recommendations for sightseeing, food, and activities were excellent, and he was always flexible in adjusting plans based on our preferences and pace. Thanks to CeylonEscapes and Wijaya, our family had a memorable and stress-free holiday. We would happily recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Sri Lanka. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I am so glad to hear that you had a wonderful time in Sri Lanka! Wijaya is a fantastic driver and guide, and the team at Ceylon Escapes works incredibly hard to ensure every trip is seamless.
We have made a wonderful trip through Sri Lanka. With Anjana as driver, but more importantly as guide, this trip has become even more enjoyable than expected. Anjana has not only brought us safely from location to location, but he has also given us good tips and in consultation to places outside the tourist spots. Because of this we have certainly seen parts of the real Sri Lanka. If we ever come back, I definitely want to go on tour with Anjana again!
We are glad that you enjoyed your holiday in Sri Lanka, Thanks so much for taking time to write us a review.
Excellent great experience with this company and our extreme good driver Ajith. Great service, calm, save and simply good. Always there, never late, big fun and showing us the real Sri Lanka. Highly recommended. Highly responsible and taking really care of us.
Many thanks for travelling with Ceylon Escapes. We are glad hear that you enjoyed your tour with Ajith.
We received clear and prompt communication with Ayanthi, Dirk and the Ceylon Escapes team from the very first contact. They were very helpful in providing the best way to see Sri Lanka in our timeframe. Our driver for our customised trip, Geethanga was great, he collected us in Hiriketiya and we spent the next 6 days in his safe and capable hands, he always was prompt when meeting us and always kept in contact. He was a very careful and confident driver in the mayhem of Sri Lankan traffic, his car was very clean, comfortable and there was always a fresh bottle of water at the ready. There was the odd hiccup with language in conversation but we managed through this with a laugh and good humour. Geethanga helped to arrange activities along the way through his established contacts, and found every one of them knowledgeable and reasonably priced. Thank you to Geethanga for looking after us, you and the team at Ceylon Escapes helped to make our holiday to Sri Lanka a happy, relaxing and memorable experience that we will treasure always.
Many thanks for your feedback, We are happy that you enjoyed your tour with Ceylon Escapes. We also always keep helping our drivers with English as it is not there first language. I also feel it takes a few days to get use the the accents.
